Write a program that outputs inflation rates for two successive years and whether the inflation is increasing or decreasing.

Ask the user to input the current price of an item and its price one year and two years ago.

To calculate the inflation rate for a year, subtract the price of the item for that year from the price of the item one year ago and then divide the result by the price a year ago.

Your program must contain at least the following functions: a function to get the input, a function to calculate the results, and a function to output the results (see Sample Run below).

Use appropriate parameters to pass the information in and out of the function.

Do not use any global variables.

Sample Run

Enter the current price of the item: 33.95

Enter the price of the item one year ago: 36.99

Enter the price of the item two years ago: 40.99

Current year inflation: -0.08
Inflation one year ago: -0.10
Inflation is increasing.
